Windflower purse

I think this wee little evening bag is lovely, whether closed…

Or open:

It’s the “Windflower” purse by Judith Leiber, covered with Austrian crystals.
Of course, at over $4500 it’s a little out of my budget for the month :-)

Woven raffia uppers, little flowers and they even come in two colors!

Ah, now that’s a happy shoe for summer time :-)

big totes & bold patterns

I’m spending quite a bit of my summer hauling notebooks, water bottles and who-knows-what-else around in different totebags. My attitude is that if I have to carry biiiiig bags - they’d better be nice ones :-)
I love the glam gold trim and the bold paisley print on this “Milly” tote by Della Fonte:

But then […]

Camo from Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

Okay, I give up - apparently camouflage has made it into the ranks of the elite designers…
Marc Jacobs has teamed up with Japanese designer, Takashi Murakami, to create a new collection for Louis Vuitton… the catch?  The collection (dubbed “Monogramouflage”) is a combination of the iconic LV monogram… and, you guessed it - camouflage.
You can […]

favorite smells - new leather bags

This probably won’t make me happy with my vegan fans - but I’ve got a confession to make…
One of my favorite smells in the world is leather.
I know, it’s weird - but the smell of a new leather purse like this lovely handbag from Furla makes me happy :-)
